The products are available to purchase from the care home reception, and all money raised will go towards the British Royal Legion for poppy day.

A Launton Grange Care Home spokesperson said: “Please feel free to pop into reception and ask for a poppy or a soldier, or please send us a message so that we can make sure we have them ready for you.
